> UCLA added their underutilized IBM 360/91 batch-processing machine to the network and provided consultation by telephone to support remote users, and thus managed to significantly supplement the income of the computer center.
Interesting to compare this solution (connecting independent mainframes, each with a $45K IMP) to that created by UofMinn MERITSS at about the same time (providing timeshared processing to dozens of satellite colleges with one 32-port interface) ... making the U. 'the cloud' for the other schools.
